HP Sucks

Yesterday I went to Wal-Mart and paid $20 for an HP headset microphone thing that has two separate "around the ear" headphones fused by a microphone on the cord. The box promised "crystal clear audio both ways." So I plug it in. Here's my list of grievances:

AS HEADPHONES

  • The audio is tinny at best
  • The headphones somehow echo into the microphone at extremely low levels of volume

AS A MICROPHONE

  • Very little or no signal
  • If there is a signal, its AM band talk radio or echo of headphones

Does no signal whatsoever qualify as "crystal clear audio"? I certainly don't think so. I'm very dissatisfied with my purchase, and I'm planning on taking it back some time today. The quality of product I received was simply unacceptable. HP should be ashamed.
